2/22/08 notes: had bottle while on Florida golf trip. Heavily carbonated, and initial smell and taste is grassy with hops. Little trace of sweetening malts, but unfortunately not much there to replace them. Solid brew, drinkable, but body is too light and flavor not really complex or robust.

Bottled. Dark amber-red body, thick fluffy off-white head Taste surprisingly full for an (american) lager, more like a bitter to me. The aroma if soapy with metallic scents. Good long, quite bitter finish

Bottled. Obviously amber in color with a tan head. Malty aroma with a taste to match. I tasted a little caramel as well. Slightly sweet. Again, average beer from Flying Dog.

Bottled(355ml). -Reddish pale amber coloured, small off-white head that went away fast leaving nice lace, sweet malty caramel nose. The taste is very similar, also sweet malty, caramel and light hoppy with notes of nuts and wood. Dry finish with touch of grapes. 5.3%.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a strong malt. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste Is a sweet malt with a spicy finish. A good amber from flying dog.

Amber pour with a thin fizzy head. Sweet malt aroma and flavor. Hint of hops on the finish. Pretty typical. Keep walking folks, nothing to see here.
